I have 2 doz 7 wk old Banty chicks. Only this one chick (circled in photo) has their upper AND lower beak growing crooked in the SAME direction?
It was first noticeable at 6wks so I began treating it as if scissor beak was going to occur. In the last week the beak has become significantly more crooked!
Is this how scissor beak looks in the beginning?Will the upper and lower jaw eventually grow apart?
I’ve googled and read lots of chicken blogs but I can’t find anything where the upper and lower beak are aligned AND crooked. The chick is growing great, can eat and drink normally and is not being picked on.
